...political spot to utilize YouTube's force-multiplying power. Web video is like a pop single: an attention-getting hook is important. Fox's baring his frailty was particularly YouTube-friendly because the medium rewards authentic, vérité captured moments. (It also rewards shock and humor, which could favor outrageous ads.) A universal, direct message is key. (No dead languages, for instance.) Above all, even local admakers should remember that now they have a potential national audience a click away--one that can engage their ads by creating its own spots and ripostes...

Last weekend, he introduced a TV spot that waded into a thorny issue revived by this week's New Jersey Supreme Court ruling in favor of equal rights for same-sex couples. In a voice that sounds like Clint Eastwood, a narrator claims a vote for Ellsworth will mean a vote for Nancy Pelosi and a gay agenda. "Pelosi will then put in motion her radical plan to advance the homosexual agenda, led by Barney...
